Colorado's Tyler Toner targeted for WEC 51 return in Broomfield

A source close to the event today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Toner will be part of the card, though an opponent has not been determined.

Although the card is still being assembled, the Colorado-based fighter likely will compete on the preliminary card of WEC 51, which takes place Sept. 30 at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield (near Denver).

The night’s main card, including a title fight between featherweight champ Jose Aldo and top contender Manny Gamburyan, airs on Versus.

Toner, a four-year pro, fought primarily in the Colorado-based Ring of Fire organization before making his promotional debut at WEC 48. At the April event, he scored a vicious first-round TKO of Brandon Visher after dropping the Hawaiian with a straight left and finishing him with a series of devastating elbow strikes.

The victory was Toner’s fifth straight. It was also his eighth stoppage win in 10 career victories. His lone career loss came to current WEC contender Scott Jorgensen in an April 2007 Ring of Fire event.
